Benefits of technology

[0007]The present disclosure is provided in view of the above situation, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide a camera apparatus that detects an original point for determining a turning range in a case where a housing is rotated according to a posture of an installed housing, and automatically switches the turning range capable of shielding incidence of light from outside, such as light of sun, based on the original point, thereby improving user convenience.
[0009]According to the present disclosure, the turning range in a case where the housing is rotated is determined according to the posture of the installed housing, the turning range is automatically switched, and thus it is possible to improve user convenience.

Problems solved by technology

However, for example, in a configuration of a Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 2011-49967, a posture of the imaging apparatus unit is a single (in other words, fixed to a prescribed position), and thus it is difficult to change to another posture, that is, it is difficult to take a plurality of postures while performing an operation.
Therefore, there is a case where light from outside, such as light of sun, is incident into a lens, with the result that it is difficult to perform proper imaging, and thus it is difficult to image the subject in the user's desired direction, thereby being inconvenient.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment (hereinafter, referred to as “the exemplary embodiment”) in which a camera apparatus according to the present disclosure is disclosed in detail will be appropriately described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings. However, there is a case where unnecessarily detailed description is omitted. For example, there is a case where detailed description of already well-known information or duplicated description of substantially the same configuration is omitted. The reason for this is to avoid description below from being unnecessarily redundant and to make those skilled in the art easily understand. Meanwhile, the accompanying drawings and description below are provided to make those skilled in the art sufficiently understand the present disclosure, and it is not intended to limit a subject disclosed in claims by the accompanying drawings and description below. In the exemplary embodiment below, a monitoring camera will be described ...

Abstract

A camera apparatus includes a pan tilt drive device; a pan controller that performs rotation angle control on a pan motor which is provided in the pan tilt drive device; a tilt controller that performs rotation angle control on a tilt motor which is provided in the pan tilt drive device; a mechanical endpoint detection sensor that outputs a mechanical endpoint of a physical rotation direction of the pan tilt drive device; a storage that stores a turning range for each installation posture as a turning range angle from the mechanical endpoint; and a CPU that sends out a start endpoint angle and a terminal endpoint angle of the turning range angle which is read from the storage according to the installation posture to the pan controller and the tilt controller.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to a camera apparatus which is capable of rotating in a pan direction and a tilt direction.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]There is a camera apparatus that includes a pan tilt driver which is capable of rotating in a pan direction and a tilt direction, and thus it is possible to image a desired direction by causing a camera main body to perform pan rotation and tilt rotation. In addition, there is a camera apparatus that includes a preset function of storing an imaging direction which is set by a user and causing the camera main body to automatically face the direction.[0005]For example, an imaging apparatus unit of Patent Document 1 is known as a related art relevant to the preset function. An auto-preset mode is mounted on the imaging apparatus unit of Patent Document 1. The auto-preset mode is a function of fixing a monitoring camera to a prescribed position, setting a plurality of imaging directi...
